I’m curious as to what everyone will say…what is your writing paradigm? I’ve made an incorrect assumption that most people on the platform are seat-of-the-pants writers, but many actually write/outline offline. Are you seat-of-the-pants, edit-as-you-go, snowflake, or outline?? Or are you like me and switch around depending on the project and motivation?? Lol

@NovaleeReed  haha nice! I’m an outliner too, and motivation definitely comes and goes for me too. Some days I’m super productive and then weeks will pass with nothing lol

Crazy times and amazing news!  For those who have been following Ray’s journey, you know it’s been an a minute since I’ve updated CRONUS. The work is currently being considered for representation and undergoing some changes while waiting for some very exciting news. Your patience means more to me than you know. My hope is that I can unveil some of these changes soon, but with some things in development, updates may come slowly and sporadically. The interest in representing this novel has me so excited, but I also know many of you have been waiting to read the rest of the story. In the meantime, I’m weeks away from completing my graduate work so this summer I am free to finally jump back into Wattpad full swing and enjoy all your wonderful writing! Thanks for joining me on this journey! ❤️❤️

@DomiSotto put together a great review for CRONUS! Here’s a little glimpse:
          
          “In chapters 5-12, the story absolutely delivers what the blurb had promised. It’s exactly what I come for when I shop for cyberpunk.” 
          
          “Betrayal and romance hit at the same time as a double whammy.”

It’s Friday, which means chapter drop day!!! The revision process for CRONUS has been arduous with my schedule, but so far, we’re keeping things going. 
          
          Just a heads up, I am VERY behind on my reading requests. If we’ve agreed on a R4R, please know I have not forgotten you. Full-time grad school, two jobs and revising CRONUS has been a little crazy. I will catch up in the coming weeks. 
          
          If you are participating in a contest and I am your judge, worry not! You are a priority and you will get your reviews for your contests ON time!
          
          Thanks and have a fabulous weekend❤️

Ugh sorry guys but I’m just not going to do it. Part 13 simply isn’t ready and I’d rather wait than release work I’m not happy with. I’ve unpublished it and will release it next week. Forgive the lateness, but better to release quality work.

Part 12 is out now! It’s a little shorter than previous parts, but I hope you enjoy the read. My revisions are more delayed than I originally anticipated but weekly updates are still a go. I want to give a shout-out to my readers who have made it known that they are enjoying these latest updates of CRONUS through their comments and votes! Thank you so much!!! If I miss anyone, please tell me and I will give you your own special shout-out next week :D
